  1. POHow can I create a custom cleanup mode for git?
    text
    copied!<p>I'd like to have a commit message cleanup that will not necessarily remove lines beginning with a <code>#</code> in the message itself. The default <code>--cleanup=strip</code> removes <strong>all</strong> lines starting with a <code>#</code> character. </p> <p>The reason being is unfortunately, the <a href="http://trac.edgewall.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Trac</a> engine's wiki formatter uses hashes in the beginning of a code block to denote the syntax type. This creates difficulty when using the engine's syntax in my commit messages. </p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>Created demo of perl added to helloworld.pl {{{ #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # say hi to the user. print "hello world\n"; }}} # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD^1 &lt;file&gt;..." to unstage) # # added: helloworld.pl # and so on and so forth... </code></pre> <p>I would like the following result in the final logged commit message:</p> <pre><code>commit 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 Author: Danny &lt;...&gt; Date: Wed Apr 7 13:34:29 2010 -0400 Created demo of perl added to helloworld.pl {{{ #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # say hi to the user. print "hello world\n"; }}} </code></pre> <p>I'd like to use a custom filter that removes all lines beginning with a hash from the bottom of the commit message upwards. Leaving the lines in the message I have added alone. Where or how can I specify this in git?</p> <p>Note, creating a sed or perl script to perform the operation is not a problem, just knowing <em>where to hook it</em> into git is the question.</p> <p>My apologies on the confusion of my question, I hadn't realized how vague it was.</p>
